Mark your calendars. The tentative date is March 22, 2014. Just waiting for the conformation for the venue and school board approval for use of the building, but it should be a go. I haven't lined up any speakers yet, but it will be bigger and better this year. In the works is a sanctioned calling contest to go with it!!!

Stay tuned for more details and would love suggestions on some speakers. I am hoping a certain Charlie and Vic can make an encore appearance as they were the stars last year!!!

If you get the date set and get the posters made up before the State Convention, get a poster sent up to state to have them post it for all the chapters to see and they will announce it at the state calling contest also. That way all the chapters will see it and the callers from all over the country will hear about it and pass it on to the other callers. It should help you get more people at the show?

It is official, March 22, 2014. Starting to get everything together. Mr. Lovett has already agreed to make another appearance. The hours and everything are still getting set up. Going to start it earlier like 9am and end it by 6 or so. Calling contest is also a go. Lots of work ahead of me now. If you know of anyone who wants to be a vendor or speaker suggestions let me know. $25 vendor fee which is cheap for an event like this, but will basically cover the building rental.

Things are really starting to roll! Just landed a huge sponsorship from Cabelas! They are sponsoring the calling contest and expo. Also Hooks Custom Calls stepped up and is also sponsoring the calling contest. Still looking for some more.Speakers we got Scott Hembrook, which most of you might know who he is! Brian Lovett, and myself are all giving seminars. I am hoping Charlie and Vic will make the trip, I have had quite a few people ask if he will be there. I am sure they want to see Charlie and not Vic. Trying to find a couple more speakers and am open to any ideas anyone might have and what kind of topics would you want to hear about? Scott is going to teach the correct ways to run calls, with hands on instruction. I will be speaking on decoying turkeys, the when where why and which ones. Brian not sure yet, so give him some ideas.
